What Information Do We Collect and Why?

A clear breakdown of the personal data card games collects, how it is used, and how long we keep it.

1. Information We Collect From You

When you register an account on card games, we collect the personal information you provide directly, including your full name, date of birth, email address, and mobile number. We also collect your preferred payment details when you make a deposit through our Deposit page, such as your e-wallet account reference or bank transfer information, though we do not store full card numbers on our servers. During the identity verification process required for account security and regulatory compliance, we may ask you to submit a government-issued ID or other supporting documents to confirm your identity as a player based in the Philippines. In addition to information you provide directly, we automatically collect certain technical data when you access the platform, including your IP address, browser type, device model, operating system, and session activity logs. This technical data helps us maintain platform security, detect suspicious activity, and improve the overall experience for players across the Philippines. We may also collect information about how you interact with specific game sections — such as Slot Game, Slots, and Bingo — to help us understand usage patterns and improve platform performance. All information collected is limited to what is genuinely necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

2. How We Use Your Personal Information

The personal information we collect is used for a limited set of clearly defined purposes that are necessary for operating the card games platform and fulfilling our obligations to players in the Philippines. We use your registration details to create and manage your account, verify your identity, and ensure that only eligible players can access the platform. Your payment information is used solely to process deposits and to maintain accurate records of your account balance and transaction history. Technical and usage data is used to monitor platform security, investigate potential fraud or prohibited conduct, and improve the reliability and performance of our games and services. We may use your email address or mobile number to send you important account-related communications, such as deposit confirmations, security alerts, or updates to this Privacy Policy — we do not send unsolicited marketing messages without your explicit consent. Where required by Philippine law or by a competent regulatory authority, we may use your personal data to fulfil legal obligations, including anti-money laundering checks and responsible gaming assessments. We do not use your personal information to make automated decisions that produce significant legal effects without human review.

3. Do We Share Your Data With Third Parties?

All third-party service providers we work with are contractually required to handle your data securely, use it only for the purpose for which it was shared, and comply with applicable data protection standards. In cases where we are legally required to disclose personal information — for example, in response to a valid court order, regulatory investigation, or law enforcement request under Philippine law — we will comply with that obligation and, where permitted, notify you of the disclosure. We do not share your personal data with other players, with unaffiliated third-party websites, or with any entity outside the scope of what is described in this Privacy Policy. If our business structure changes in the future, such as through a merger or acquisition, we will ensure that your personal data continues to be protected in accordance with this policy and that you are informed of any material changes.

4. How Do We Keep Your Data Secure?

In the event of a data security incident that affects your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant Philippine regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable data breach notification requirements.

5. How Long Do We Retain Your Data?

Account registration data and transaction records are typically retained for the duration of your active account and for a defined period after account closure, in order to comply with financial record-keeping and anti-money laundering requirements. Technical and usage logs are retained for a shorter period and are used primarily for security monitoring and platform improvement purposes. Identity verification documents submitted during the registration process are retained in accordance with the verification requirements applicable to our platform and are securely deleted once the retention period has expired. If you request the deletion of your personal data, we will assess your request in accordance with our legal obligations and inform you of the outcome within a reasonable timeframe. Where we are legally required to retain certain data beyond your requested deletion date, we will explain the reason and ensure that the retained data is not used for any other purpose. Once the applicable retention period has passed, your personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual.
